snakehead in california today

[kentobizmol]

o.k., today after school me and my friends went to a local creek right...
and the creek is pretty murky, the color is green/gray and the deepest part is probably around 5'.

and there is a bridge around 15' from the water surface so we were scanning the area if there are any fish and sure enough i found couple black carps.
one of them was close to the shore, so i went down and checked it out like 3' away from me.
then the next thing i notice is a oddly familiar looking fish.
and the first thing i thought of it was a red snakehead.
so i called my friends over to check it out, and one of them is into fish so he said it was a snakehead also.
this is the discription of the fish that i saw: 4", has a line all the way from tail to face. the color was murky(same color as dA water) and i believe, seeing dots below the line.
there were 2 of this fish.
i am 80% sure that its a baby red snakehead. too bad i can't fish in dAt creek.

what do you guys think it was?
a bass, bluegill, trout?

oh yeah during the fall we get salmon there; the place where i saw the snakehead was silent but 30' away, there are STRONG currents.

take a camera next time and get afew shots for us to identify

Don't drop the camera in the stream though, that causes foul language....

 

[contender]

baby micropletes are red not murky....

it could possibly be channa lucius

but, man, we could go on snd speculate... what we need are PHOTOS!!!!

i hope you get em too... this is pretty interesting.

 

[kentobizmol]

oh my god!
it looked exactly liked that.

last time i went fishing, i dropped my camera when i tried to take pictures of a pirarucu and i dropped dA camera in the river(i yelled 4letter words, i cried, etc.)
long story, i'll explain later...

 

[DeLgAdO]

maybe its just me but usually when someone says that it never happens
